    Carne asada tacos and a fried cod taco
    Masha V.

    This place is located one floor below the Vail transportation center. There's free chips and salsa! Love that and there's a little salsa bar for you to get your own. Carne asada tacos: street tacos come in two. You can order flour or corn tortilla, I ordered flour. The steak was chewy and needed to be sliced thinner. Fried cod taco: Flavors were just ok. Fish was fried and tasted fine. Macho burrito: is huge! Got the carne asada one. Again, steak is chewy and needs to be sliced thinner. Service was friendly and quick. The place has plenty of seating and even has a bar for alcoholic beverages. There are also restrooms nearby. The price is right and you can't beat that in Vail.

    Mexican apple pie!

    vail village's best kept secret!! first of all, you either have to be a local avid skier, coming in and out of the station, to even be aware of this amazing well-hidden gem "shy... thank you so much 4 the amazing service & simply outstanding time last weekend!!" rae & i had an amazing incredible time!! best fish tacos ever!!!! ‍‍ workaholic took a break

    Salsa bar

    Very solid low cost fast and convenient Mexican food right at the transportation center in Vail village. Chips don't seem quite the same as previous years but still solid and a fave with local working staff. Full bar service. Often our first take out order on our way into town. Chile relleno outstanding. Online order app a bit wonky. That could use improvement (the order did not allow for plan ahead or specify which tacos we had ordered)

    Complimentary chips and salsa!

    I was in the mood for some wine tasting and since I couldn't get to a vineyard. I decide to my own…read morewine tasting. Jeremy was very nice. He was not only our bartender but was also one of the owner along with Samantha who I got to meet for the first time. Everyone was so friendly and was definitely a win connoisseur. I love their happy hour from Vail. Everything was price reasonable. I love that you could get any wine for 3 ounce for half the price. That allowed me to try almost every wine on the list. Yes. I was very happy when I left It's definitely a hidden gem. Will try to come back!

    Visiting Vail for a quick getaway a few weekends ago made me realize (again) that this mountain…read moretown renowned for exhilarating outdoor activities is a foodie destination with so many options to choose from Michelin-recognized restaurants to something more casual. And to stumble upon this chic and inconspicuous cocktail bar in the busy downtown was something I wasn't expecting and became a treat after a nice stroll through the town after dinner in my hotel room. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was at the place where my heart was calling for. There were two gents at the bar and one of them warmly greeted me and said I could sit anywhere I would like. I hence picked one of the bar seats. Except one table that was occupied by a couple I was the only one. I appeared to have picked the right time; I had the whole bar to myself (eventually though, several different groups of people streamed in; only a few of them sat at the bar close to me. The bar was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a little over 10 people.) Jeremy, who greeted me upon arrival, was a super host. As soon as I explained that wine is my usual got-to, he said he could mix and match reds and whites to create a "flight" based on what I had told him as to my likings. His extensive explanations as to what sorts of reds and whites the bar offers/serves was (of course) all in his memory. His eloquent speech with no filler words truly impressed me; he sure is a wine connoisseur. What he picked for me were... -2024 Pepiere "Les Gras Moutons" (Muscadet) -Kobal "Bajta", Hazole Belo (aka Orange Wine) -Sandlands "Red Table Wine (Lodi Red Blend) With his wealth of knowledge, after giving him only a hint of what I liked, what Jeremy selected for me to sample/sip was a superb choice. All of them were world-class excellence with elegance and beauty. I carefully and slowly sipped each one little by little to truly immerse myself in the art of wine. Yes, wine is a piece of art for sure. I think I said it correctly at the beginning of this review. This is a cocktail bar with variety of spirits which Jeremy could easily concoct just about anything from gin-based one to vodka-based one to tequila-based ones to whiskey-based one to name several. For those who don't drink, their zero-proof section also has something interesting to browse and choose. Not to mention, rotating pilsner or IPA on tap to name a few from the beer section as well. If you need a little bite to eat, their (changing) food menu has a good number of New American-style plates. The bar originally opened in a different building back in 2015 (I believe). They moved to the current location in 2019. They also offer various different classes so you can expand/extend your knowledge. So for your next foodie vacation in Vail, make sure to include Root & Flower in your list.
